Change History

Just use full paths to your vdi files and it will work. If you don't put in a full path Virtual Box will assume the path is relative to the ~/.VirtualBox/VDI folder and not relative to the current working directory.

Thanks. Now that was easy. I thought I tried it with full paths when I first saw this behavior. But well, now it works. Even with ./vdifile. Would probably still be nice if the command could look into current dir first, just like "cat", "cp" or any other command and default to create the target image in the directory of the source image.

Sorry... no, it doesn't work with ./vdifile... Thats what I tried yesterday as well. It just worked with the Debian Etch Template VDI cause I symlinked it. Sure its a relative path then, but its still unintuitive that way. I think vboxmanage should at least not default to ~/VirtualBox/VDI is the path contains at least one /.
